Player Updates

Morgan saw all of his production come within his first four games as he missed four midseason games due to a knee issue, only to not be targeted upon his return. The 25-year-old has 16 career receptions for 135 yards and one touchdown in 38 games, and he is under contract for one more season with the Vikings.

Morgan continues to nurse his lingering knee issue. The depth tight end was able to play through his injury during Sunday's win overthe Dolphins after having missed four straight games. If Morgan is able to suit up against the Lions in Week 16, his blocking abilities will bring a notable boost to the Vikings' offense.

Morgan (knee) is active for Sunday's game against Miami, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

He's missed four games due to the injury but returned to practice this week. Morgan's absence has been frequently cited in Minnesota's offensive struggles the past few games due to his blocking ability.

Morgan (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Morgan was a limited practice participant this week to earn the questionable tag and has a chance to return after missing the last four games. Tyler Conklin will continue to serve as the Vikings' No. 2 tight end should Morgan be unable to suit up Sunday.
